Northern Star Council wants to do its part to help the communities around our camps. As part of that effort, we will be collecting non-perishable food items at Polar Cubs. Bring your food item to the dining hall when you check in if you wish to participate. Last year Polar Cubs campers were responsible for collecting over 900 lbs of food-let's beat that this year!
